Tasty Morsels of EM 098 – #FRCEM Infection Control

31 Jul

I’m entering a few months prep for the UK and Ireland exit exam in Emergency Medicine: the FRCEM. I’ll be adding lots of little notes on pearls I’ve learned along the way. A lot of my revision is based around the Handbook of EM as a curriculum guide and review of contemporary, mainly UK guidelines. I also focus on the areas that I’m a bit sketchy on. With that in mind I hope they’re useful.

You can find more things on the FRCEM on this site here

One of the least sexy topics in EM…

Mainly from the OHEM and LITFL wonderful article on hand washing

What are the 5 moments of hand hygiene?
What are Standard/Universal Precautions?
How are some common infections spread?
Describe some contemporary potential epidemic threats for the UK and infection control procedures
